How does the black plague affect the body?

The Black plague affects your body by causing buboes, or blister-like pieces of skin that contain macrophages, which are dead immunity cells.It was called the Black Plague because of internal bleeding and that, when the blood dried it became black under the skin so the skin turned "black", or a really deep red.


Was the black plague still contagious after death?

Yes, but only as long as the bacteria which spread it survived. The bodies of people who had died of the plague were used in biowarfare during the middle ages. Besieging armies would throw bodies of plague victims over the walls of a city and wait for the plague to soften up their enemy before attacking. Since Yersinia Pestis survives best in the bodies of fleas and flea-infested rats, the main risk during an outbreak is not from dead bodies, but from the original reservoir of infected fleas which may bite other nearby people and animals. Good pest control is critical to preventing and limiting plague outbreaks.


Did the rats in the black death bite people?

Some likely did, but it was more likely that one would be bitten by a plague carrying flea that came off a dead rat.
